Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 6/38,741/74,691/51
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 6,741,691
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6,741,691 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 38,74,51 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 38,74,51 is 71706 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6,741,691
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 6

1,2,3,6
Factors of 741
List of positive integer factors of 741 that divides 741 without a remainder.
1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Factors of 691
List of positive integer factors of 691 that divides 691 without a remainder.
1,691
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6,741,691 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6,741,691 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,74,51
2 | 38, 74, 51 |
19, 37, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 37 x 51 = 71706
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71706
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/38,741/74,691/51 is 1/71706
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 38,74,51 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,74,51) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(38,74,51) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(38,74,51) = ( 38 × 74 × 51 ) / 2
LCM(38,74,51) = 143412 / 2
LCM(38,74,51) = 71706
